First off Welcome to NICO!! To answer your question lots of things can rattle in an S13, however one thing to check is you exhaust manifold heat shield. Those are very prone to rusting then making loud rattles. Also check for loose interior panels or missing screws/mounting hardware, Good luck.

It could also be as simple as a window or peice of metal that's not seated correctly.

pop the hood w/ the car running and visually inspect everything while holding the throttle open a little. If you don't see anyhting than you can use a long screw drive on parts in the general area of the noise. put the handle on your ear and the blade on the parts. kinda isolates the noise. If you've got long hippie hair don't get it sucked into the belts
