I have a third gen but the Chilton and Haynes books that I have found cover the years 1993-1999. Does anyone have either of these books? Do they truly have third gen info? Which seems to be the better book?

Yes they really do have 3Gen information. Haynes is the better of the two aftermarket repair manuals. For a detailed comparison of three books (Chilton, Haynes, and the factory service manual) see

One caveat: Haynes does not cover the DOHC engine used in the '92-'94 Maxima SE. If you are driving an SE, get the Chilton book.
