Z32 rattle?

Hey guys, how's it goin?

Now I understand a lot of you guys are s13 owners, however I have a question pertaining to a z32. What my problem is, is I have a slight rattle on my driver side rear wheel (jdm) it almost sounds like it's coming from. The sound is almost like metal on metal, as if you were to jingle a ring of measuring spoons, haha, great analogy I know. If anyone could give me advide as where to look to solve the problem that would be great, and it's not the exhaust :P

Thanks a lot guys, help would be much appreciated.
Rob

does it change tone/get louder as the wheel spins faster? or is the noise the same regardless of wheels speed? does it change if ur on or off the brakes? does it change when ur turning?

Haha, you're right, sorry for the lack of information. The noise is unaffected by the breaks, I can be on or off of them and the rattle will still happen, the noise becomes more frequent as I speed up, however the speed doesn't affect the intensity of the noise, and turning doesn't really affect it, regardless of if I'm turning or not I still get the noise. And also, it is not a constant sound, it comes and goes at random intervals, meaning I could be going a constant speed, and it will rattle a few times in a short amount of time, then it could stop for a few minutes, then rattle once. I appreciate you being willing to help.

Thanks man,
Rob.

Honestly man, I came here looking for advice not to be put down by some "macho forum poster," so if you aren't going to say anything that contributes to the thread, ask yourself, why even waste your time posting, I can assure you that you are not damaging the ol' self-esteem, so please, just get out.
