From the eaton website:
"The Detroit Truetrac was the first helical gear differential ever introduced into the automotive aftermarket as an Eaton brand. It remains the leading helical gear-type limited slip differential in the industry. Detroit Truetrac's proven helical gear design eliminates the need for wearable parts, resulting in maintenance free traction recognized not only for its toughness, but its smooth and quiet operation as well." Detroit Truetrac - Eaton.com

for what it's worth, from what i've read in reviews, a truetrac is as close to a true locker as any LSD on the market, yet it doesn't take much maintenance and allows some slip (never heard the 3:1 ratio but that sounds about right for a mechanical LSD).
bottom line: OP, search button is your friend, but no there are no aftermarket lockers that fit the axle you have. you can however use a detriot truetrac or ghetto rig in a nismo locker off a wrecked one on an electric switch

Stupid question, why does everyone want an air locker instead of mechanical locker? Just more stuff to go wrong right?

yeah witha selectable locker it works better when you don't want you wheels to lock, like cornering.

as said above, a selectable locker is better for a vehicle driven both on and off road. if the vehicle never sees pavement a mechanical locker (detriot locker for instance, not to be confused with a truetrac) is usually stronger and more reliable. only frontier that i know of that has one is OnlyOneDR who put a detroit locker in the rear of his desert runner. while he does drive it on the road he's stated that it can cause issues for people who aren't expecting it

Correct, especially in the rain. If you are unaware of the locker, you can get in a serious situation. You will fishtail.
Dont let the mother-in-law drive it. or maybe.... ....Do let her drive it....
