I'm 98% sure it'll fit...the fastbrakes rear caliper relocation kit says it fits '92-03 Maximas
Also, Centric website shows same rotor part # (size) between 4th and 5th gen.

what makes you think the one on that 4th gen is not locked up too? Before you buy a junk caliper rebuild your own... make sure the piston is free of rust if you see rust on the caliper then its done...

Just get one from the local parts store. Seems easy enough.
