Changing Back brakes for a 99 Infiniti I30 the same as changing brakes for a 95-99 Maxima?

Will i have to bleed the back brakes when I change them? What should I consider when changing the back brakes?

If I were to buy 99 Maxima brakes will they fit the same on the I30?

Same car, same brakes, same procedure.

You should not just bleed but flush your brake fluid completely, especially if it's still the original fluid.

How do I flush the Brake system completely? Will i keep on bleeding the brakes untill all the fuild is done?

After I flush the whole system, will i need to bleed all the brakes when i add new fuild in?

Start at one of the rear calipers and pump until the fluid runs clean. Make sure you never let the master cylinder run dry!!!! Once you get the reseviour full of clean fluid and clean fluid coming from the caliper, the other 3 will go quickly. Again, never let the M/C run dry!! Pump until it's just about empty and fill it back up again.

yes, bleed them all. There will still be a bit of the old fluid in the rest of the brake lines. Bleed all until the fluid comes out clean.
Brake fluid is cheap. If you are not sure you got all the old fluid out, bleed 'em all again.

Just remember - brake failure=bad
