Actually, "go nuts" really means go crazy or get out of control. So it can be used when talking about anger or happiness, as long as it is extreme anger or happiness. For instance, "My mom was so mad when she found out I'd failed English. She went nuts." Or, "I'm so excited about going to Spain. I'm going nuts."
