hi all,
I've got the same thing with mine, bloody embarrasing. Surely its the VVT,as the rattling is coming from the top end and then dissappears when your driving.
I believe this is because the oil pressure increases and fills the vvt unit thus stopping it from rattling. When your driving slowly say in traffic can you still hear it? .

Apparently nissan can turn it off to see if it is the vvt or not however you loose alot of power low down. But at least it would diagnose it.
I've been told it doesn't do any harm to the engine if it is the vvt rattling.
