I did a search and saw some references to this in the 4wd area's but I was curiouse if anyone has done this to a 240 with good results.

Air locker at http://www.arbusa.com has an air compressor system fo the r200 lsd that will make it locked (fully on) with a switch. With this combo couldn't you have the ultimate of both street and drift?

Guidance please?

problem i can see with a switched locker like that, is that it sounds like its either on or off. with a clutch diff, the plates slip, so say around a corner, you get the good effect of having power transfered to the outside wheel, where the inside can still turn slower (via the plated slipping) where as with the locker, cornering wtih a locked diff might be a little tricky. especially if you don't commit and have to let off the gas, the shift from oversteer to understeer might not be soo fun. I dunno, if you're in it just for drifting it would be an ok idea. depends on the cost too.also the fact that the link provided takes you to a 4x4 site might mean these were intended for pathfinders/frontiers more than 240's
