Yeah, using your name to take some bone stock Z and a box of crayons and cabbage patch stickers to try and turn a buck is shameful. If you ask what cabbage patch stickers are, I will hire a gay midget clown p0rn star to hunt you down.

Steve's brother Rod Millen became a legend at the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb. Steve is the uncle of Rhys and Ryan who both compete in motorsport events.
[edit] Racing career
Millen began his racing career in hillclimbing in 1969. He then moved to the Formula Ford series. He started competing in rally cars in the mid 1970s. He switched to off-road racing in the Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group (MTEG) stadium series in the early 1980s. He won the 1986, 1988, and 1989 Mickey Thompson Off-Road Grand Prix Grand National Sports Truck Championships. He also won two Indy Lights races in the series' inaugural 1986 season.
Millen switched to the IMSA Camel GT series in 1990. He was the 1990 24 Hours of LeMans Rookie of the Year. He won 3 races and 5 poles in 1990. He had seven poles and five wins in 1991. He also drove for Allan Moffat Racing in the 1991 Tooheys 1000 at Bathurst, partnering Gary Brabham in a Ford Sierra RS500. He run ended in a DNF (Did Not Finish).
Millen won the 1992 IMSA GTS championship in a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo car. He won the 12 Hours of Sebring, and had Top 5 finishes in the first four events before his 1993 season ended with injuries at Watkins Glen International.
Millen returned in 1994, and won the IMSA GTS championship. He won the 1994 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring, and was first in class at the 24 Hours of LeMans.
In 1995, Millen won the 12 Hours of Sebring. He was invited to the International Race of Champions (IROC). He was leading the IMSA GTS championship, when he had a professional career-ending crash at Road Atlanta. He had competed in three of four IROC races.
Millen is the all-time winningest driver in IMSA GTS history with 20 victories. His 23 pole positions are also a series' record. [2]
He has had several wins in occasional appearances in various series since his retirement.
Millen also worked as a driver for commercials sometimes with Rod and has appeared in a commercial for Honda, despite being under contract at the time to rival Nissan. He is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild as a stunt driver, which provided the healthcare he needed when he had his career ending crash.
Oooh yeah he owns STILLEN, now maybe some of you have an idea now.

Yeah, using your name to take some bone stock Z and a box of crayons and cabbage patch stickers to try and turn a buck is shameful. If you ask what cabbage patch stickers are, I will hire a gay midget clown p0rn star to hunt you down.

Glad to see there are some 350z owners who know their Z history and heritage. I swear, some 350z owners buy the car, join the community, and then forget there was ever anything before the 350z. Seriously guys, some of the comments made here are just plain sad. If you are going to be part of the Z community at least know some of it's history (like the fact that Datsun and Nissan are the same company 
) END RANT
