I'm going to be putting new rotors and pads on my 95 soon. Is there a web page that has instructions? Or can someone run down the steps for me?

 

The Haynes repair manual has excellent coverage of this service procedure. It also has lots of pictures. IMHO Haynes does a better job on the subject of brakes than the Nissan factory service manual.

 

All I can give you is what to buy:

Axxis Pad Types

Autospecialty brands include Super-Lux, Metal-Lux, Super-X, and Metal-X. Metal-Lux is our premium quality semi-metallic pad featuring an asbestos free formula.

- If you specialize in Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, Saab or Volvo, we offer the industry leading Axxis brake pads, in Metal Master semi-met, or Deluxe Plus... both asbestos free materials. Axxis Metal Master and Axxis Deluxe Plus are the leading brands of pads for upscale European and Japanese sports sedans.

Metal Master pads are designed for applications requiring the highest performance from a semi-metallic pad.

Deluxe Plus is formulated from the latest, proven asbestos-free organic materials, for those applications specifically requiring an NAO formula. It is recognized for maintaining low fade and squeal, with minimal brake dust.

- Metal-Lux and Super-Lux Autospecialty brands are specially formulated pads of the highest quality:

Metal-Lux Premium Quality Semi-Metallic brake pads feature a proven asbestos-free formula. Super-Lux is our premium quality, organic non-asbestos formula pad. Super-Lux Premium Quality Organic Pads feature a proven asbestos-free formula. Both Metal-Lux and Super-Lux brand materials meet or exceed OE specification, and include shims where necessary.

- Metal-X and Super-X are priced competitively against standard replacement grades, and yet offer dramatically improved stopping power for both import and domestic vehicles.

I made a page for the Wilwood upgrade that has the disassembly steps with pictures...

Click here

But as Daniel pointed out... get a manual.. it's a good investment for you...

 

Where did you get the shims from?
