i have just installed my locker 
but it is making some odd noises, like a knocking/humming noise when on decel, happens once every revolution of the diff, {humming at hi speed},
i'll see if i can get some sound /vid of the noise
oh and yes, it drifts well

my last locker made a noise like that so i pulled the centre out to find the bolts that were holding the crownwheel to the carrier were all gone with the exception of one which was 1/2 the way out and hitting agains the spider gear carrier
it could however be just a bit of welding slag on the crownwheel gear who knows. worth pulling it out rather than risk having it explode and locking up the rears.

i was quoted $1400 drive in, slide out
but $800 was labour, apparently u have to cut off old mounts, reweld your ones off your old diff, change studs, and set pinion angle 
and mod plate

ummm from memory the hilux and corona leaf springs are 1000mm center to center, the pinion angle can be changed by wedges between the leaf spring and the diff that you can get from most v8 bogan "Performance" stores
The tailshaft will need to be shortened but you can redrill the flange on the diff to accept the stock t series yoke
the only issues would be overall width, conversion to 5 stud and brake cable/hose
