2 Nismos transmission failure after highway driving.

Yes, I agree that it is unlikely. But it's still worth checking just to be sure. However, I just re-read your post and caught the part about loud clunking noises and vibration. A coolant leak isn't going to cause that, so I would agree the technician suspecting the diff. I almost wonder if there is/was an overheating issue with the diff. At those prolonged speeds, the diff might get hot. Perhaps a diff cooler is in order.

this is ridiculous. now I need an oil cooler, a diff. cooler and maybe even a tranny cooler.

man, my evo underwent worse conditions, longer and harder drives, long track times (I let other people track my evo one time), and yet it's never given me problems even after 3 years.

anyways, I'll update you guys what happens tomorrow.
