Does it rattle somewhere specific?

Put it up, and get under it. Use your hand to check if anything is lose. Also check the plastic in the wheel well.

For the same price you could have had an NSX or for cheaper, a R33 GTR?

That's what I'm thinking. Could be a heat shield or something like that.

anyway take a picture of the undercarriage.. see if theres anything dangling. me thinks its just a heat shield or plastic undercarriage cover thinger. doubt it's anything serious. car cant be that old.
