00-01 front pads interchange with 95-99 front pads

I verified they interchange. Part numbers are different because of a 0.7mm width difference, but you can swap one with the other.

This means that guys looking for hawk HPS and HP+ which are not made in 95-99 fitment anymore can use 00-01 Maxima or 03 350Z fitment (which are the same part numbers).

+1 I just swapped my calipers and brakes over the a 5.5 gen and I can confirm this....pads are interchangeable between a 4th gen and 5.5.

I bought the HB268F.665 which are the 00-01 front HPS pads, and while they do fit pretty well, I noticed they hang over the edge of the rotor on the inside of each caliper up front. I don't know if the torque member on the 5th gen is slightly different from the 4th or what, but there is a slight alignment issue. The overhang is roughly .1 inches. Not a huge deal, in my opinion, just something I noticed putting them on this afternoon.
