I don't think that was a stock skyline entered in the USCC.

EDIT: Apparently it was pretty much stock. I stand corrected! Dayum!
This car competed in the '05 USCC and achieved 1.043g on the skidpad. It's probably the same car considering they were within a thousandth of a g!
Here's the car:

Just NISMO shocks/springs and some huge wheels/tires.

Was that an instantaneous max or a sustained number throughout the entire skidpad?

USCC tests on a 200' skidpad. Its constant lateral acceleration. Not a peak number.

its amazing, Even cali kids car still does way better then that skyline

Your basic Corolla will pull over a g with race rubber in stock sizes.
