I am getting my 2wd RWD Nissan trans rebuilt. The Spec for the oil is 90w GL4. Is that outdated?
Honda has called for a Synchromesh type oil since the 90s and they say that you can use 10-30 oil, in a pinch. GM has called for Synchromesh oil, in their manual transmissions since the 90s also.
A FWD car uses ATF for the Differential portion of the transaxle.
Are there now better choices than GL4 gear oil?

He is checking on it. He didn't make a recommendation.
I've posted on some Nissan forums and so far it seems that there are some guys out there that have been using it w/good success.

Here is a GL4.
Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube 75W-90 GL4
Synchromesh type oil is equivalent to a 5W-30 engine oil in viscosity for manual transmission gearbox applications in certain General Motors and Chrysler vehicles with synchronizers..
GL-4 gear oils are typically recommended for spur and helical gears found in manual transmissions and transaxles operating under moderate speeds and loads.
GL-5 gear oils are typically recommended for hypoid gears in automotive axles operating under high-speed, high-load conditions.
