Picked up 2010 NISMO, have some very loud rattling coming from rear

I've yet to take mine to the dealer only because it's such a pain and I'm not 100% trust worthy of the dealer to work on my car. Tried finding a walk through on how to adjust the latch myself but no luck so far. Between that and the buzz rattle I got behind the gauge cluster after swapping exhaust it's really put me off regarding this car. My previous 09 with the same exhaust was perfect and never had a single rattle or flaw. Wish my 09 had never been totaled. Only plan to keep my Nismo for another year or so, basically until the 2012 Z gets announced and hopefully upgraded or until the new C7 Vette comes out. I had planned to keep my 09 for a very long time but this 2010 will not stay with me very long.
