curious as well, but I don't think our car is tracked hard enough to warrant a diff cooler, just more frequent fluid changes. I picked up a nismo diff cover, for whatever it's worth, just for the little bit of extra cooling it offers (unfortunately, w/o taking before/after temp readings, not sure how much help it will be doing).
