2000 Maxima vs. 2000 I30

[mr_bust]

I couldn't find any after market repair manuals for my 2000 I30 so I was told to just get the Chilton's 1993-04 Maxima Repair Manual. I was also told that they are the same car (just with different body panels and interior consoles). Am I missing anything here? Can I literally use this manual for my I30?

Also,
I eventually got my hands on an actual factory repair manual but I bought it on eBay and turns out it is for the 2001 I30. Is there any real difference between the 2000 and the 2001? Or can I completely trust this manual?

So.....seeking any advise on these two manuals that I currently own.

Either will work perfectly fine.
Here's a link to our FSM's: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/

They are identical mechanically AFAIK.

jltibbs....
Just to be clear.....and I know that this is only "AFAIK" ....... the 2001 FSM should work out just as good for my 2000?

I'm sure of it. Hence "I30", means it still has the 3.0 motor.

Besides, our 2001 FSM is complete while the 2000 FSM has very limited chapters available.

Unfortunately, I already own the 2001 FSM because I ignorantly paid for it on eBay... :-(
