I just got a pair of hawk front brake pads from nipponpower.com, and i was wondering if any other tools, etc. are necessary to change the pads. for example i think there is a "brake pad kit" made by nissan for changing brake pads. thanks.

Get a Haynes manual, this will be the best guide. Off the top of my head you will need a c-clamp, a torque wrench, some anti squeal stuff, high temp grease for the caliper pins, and a soquet set, can't remember the exact siizez right now. It was a pretty straigh forward job for me with the help of the Haynes manual. Good luck.

I think the kit you are referring to is the hardware kit. If you have a good amount of miles you may want to put it a new one. I cleaned and reused mine, it was put it at my last brake change. I will put in a new one the next time. Take a look at this site, it is very helpful:
