Drive Cycles to Clear ECM Monitors? Am I the Only One?

I'm having difficulty finding anyone that knows about this...evidently this

Nissan has hard to clear monitors.

Had a dead knock sensor in our 96 GXE (VQ30DE) so I replaced it then reset

the ECM. Just drove it 78 miles and tested...no DTCs but the following 
monitors had not completed:  Catalyst Monitor; Evaporative System Monitor;

Oxygen Sensor Monitor.  I was under the assumption that all you had to do 
was drive it 60 miles for all the monitors to complete but, after talking
to 
a somewhat helpful mechanic was told that the car had drive cycles that
were 
things like...drive for so many miles at a certain speed, let it cool, and
a 
few other things I can't remember. Apparently each car is different and
I'm 
hoping someone here can point me to what they are so I can get them
cleared 
so I can complete the state inspection.  Thanks for any help. Thanks for
any 
help.
