All you have to do is go look at the older Nissan forums (z31.com, for example) to find evidence and horror stories. Every Nissan enthusiast knows not to use GL5 in their manuals. I do not have time to go get you cites at the current time.
You can also check out oil analysis results on the Bob Is The Oil Guy forums; while not all GL5s contain sulfur, many do and you do not want that in any manual box made by Nissan.
You should also note the backup given above by British Rover, someone who worked in the industry. This isn't something we're pulling out of our asses here.
Also, did you even bother reading the links I put in the prior post??? There's cites and info there.
By the way, the synchros are made of bronze. Bronze has different properties than brass, but it gets etched all the same: http://www.springerlink.com/content/t569657640710012/
