I just ordered brake pads from http://www.projectnissan.com and they sent me the wrong one...

I ordered these: http://www.projectnissan.com/P...t=332

ANd they do not fit...why is that? Should I get the other front pair? The one that says for 1989 to 1996 S13???

The ones I ordred are an inch too long. So they do not slide into the braket...

I am guessing your 95 does not have ABS. Looks as if the pads you ordered were for an ABS car. You could try the 89-96 S13 pads. I would call and get some clarification.Or just go with "Green Stuff" pads from EBC. They are known quality components.http://www.ebcbrakes.comDownload their American Catalog. The 240 pads are listed in Green Stuff or Red Stuff.

see the thing is that my 95 240 is a SE so it has ABS, VLSD, and no sunroof. But then I heard that the 97/98 240 came with different (bigger) brakes...which is why I'm thinking that the ones I received aren't the ones for my car. I looked at my friend's 91 240 and his brake caliper and pads look exactly like mine.

so fak, now I gotta ship em' back, which is gonna take a week to get there, and then wait for it to come back, thats another week. I wanted to install it before school started again in a week, cuz I don't wanna not have my car since I need it to get to school and work...

Go to Kragen/Pepboys or whatever your local autoparts store is called. Buy their quality semi-metallic pads. Install and be done. I can guarantee you will be just as happy at half the cost. I would bet my left testicle you won't ever use your car in a way that would require an 80 dollar pair of pads.
