Fitment of an air locker doesn't affect your backlash setting.

Backlash between the crown wheel and pinion is setup the same regardless of carrier used.

I think the Nissan manual says between 0.15 and 0.20mm.

Someone else might be able to find the exact quote from the manual.

I'd be aiming more towards 0.15 (6 thou) with gears that have already been used and run in.
