I got my timing done today at a workshop when i sit in park/drive or anything below 20km o can hear what sounds like a whining sound.

Car starts first time no worries and still drives well drives better than b4 i got the timing done.

Suggestions?

I can't see how the 2 can be related. Did you do any other work at the same time? Would your brake pads just happen to be out of material coincidentally? Is sound coming from under bonnet or elsewhere?

got your timing BELT done? or you got your timing adjusted...?

if you suspect the two are related then i'd suggest popping the bonnet and have someone gently rev it from cold - it could just be a slipping belt that they need to tension up more.

Always be careful with timing as we all would be well aware of with chef's issues, Also be careful of what you read on forums.

OVERTIGHT cam belt can make whiring noise.

Gates belts are also known for being a tad noisy if thats what you put on? search it if so heaps of info on the issue.

Idler and tensioner pulley bearings may also be a tad noisy while they bed in.

Its under the bonnet.

After having a quick read it sounds like a few things. Thinking timing belt is on too tight or slipping

Going back first thing in the morning, Changes my plans but oh well trip to melbourne in the beast is going to be a bit later on.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
