Did you use new shims? Did you reuse the old shims? Did you install the new pads without any shims? Did you use sandpaper or emery cloth to de-glaze the surface of the rotors? Did you use Blue Goo anti-squeal compound?

It may be worthwhile to deglaze the rotors. Refer to the Haynes manual, photo 5.4b on page 9-10. You may buy this book at large bookstores or auto parts shops. You may be able to borrow it from your public library.

Some Nissan owners insist that only factory brake pads are silent. However, I've had good results with name-brand replacement parts (Raybestos, etc.).
