There shouldn't be any whine from the diff. When you think about it, while normally rolling forward, there is virtually NO change anywhere - the pinion contacts the final drive, which rolls the whole unit, thereby turning both axles equally fast forward. The LSD is not working here at all - there's no need for it to work.
So if there's noise....well then there's either incomplete tooth engagement, or incorrect backlash or preload.

Anyhow, if you're happy with it, all good. I don't mean anything bad by the above.

Is the LSD 1.5-way or 2-way? Does it come with the break in period? It might be a good idea to swap the oil after a thousand miles or so, just for peace of mind.

I greatly appreciate your input. Im no expert in this stuff. I will drive it around more and if I notice more whining I can bring it back to them. He told me he checked preload and backlash. He said he made a vid on his phone of the process. So I can show you guys and get your input.

Not gonna lie. You are making me nervous

. Taking away my excitement. But, its all good.

The shop I took it to is Full Throttle Performance in Rancho Cordova. Looks like they are specialist in Nissan and Infiniti. He is the same guy that installed my Z1 anti starve kit.

I think Wavetrac is 1.1 way. I dont know exactly. Maybe someone can chime in with the info. I would guess its similar to Quaife. As for break in, there shouldnt be any. But im taking it easy for the first 300 miles.
