Have you done any mods? I had tappy sound under load and it was my turbo elbow that was blowing, new gasket and all is fine

As said, make sure there's oil in it to the correct level.
After that, an educated set of ears should be able to identify the problem pretty quickly, and a blowing gasket (quite a few £ to fix ) is statistically much more likely that knackered cams (a lot more £).
Hopefully a friendly local member will listen to it for you.

A friend of mine had an s14 that was rattly. We thought it was the VVt but ended up being thin old oil that was too low. Topped it up and never heard it again.

Oil level and check for duff turbo gasket would be my first port of call.
