 Wierd Rattling Noise.....

OK car didn't seem to have this noise when I took it for a test drive, but now that I've owned it for 2 weeks I'm starting to get to know all the noises in my car....
I'll just point out I've got the V161 g/box in my JZA80.
Anyway lets say I'm driving along in 4th, doing 60, lets say I then pushed on the accel. pedal a little bit, I would hear a slight rattle coming from what appears to be the front left of the car, nothing too loud though, but it's hard to tell while driving , if I planted the accel. pedal this noise is really loud and kinda un-nerving...car doesn't loose power or any performance though...
But if I was doing 60 still and drop a gear, we'll say 3rd in this example and floor it, no wierd noises and car still drives fine.
Noise occurs for 3,4,5 & 6th. Noise can also occur when backing off the throttle. It also seems worse once the car has warmed up.
My thought's were some loose bolts on the exhuast manifold heat shield or something, but nothing "appears" to be loose, are V161's just noisy or...cause I've heard they can sound like a "bag of ball bearings" to quote a someone? Any suggestions ideas would be appreciated. I'm going to take my car to the mech. this week, but I'd like to see if I could suss it out before then.
Either something is loose somewhere, or my G/B isn't too healthy. Any ideas as to what this could be?
