Really! no point in throwing a S/H engine at it! is the car really that bad. A S/H engine will set ya back $1000-1500 and throw some labour and new fluids + cambelt/water pump I can't see the job being too much over 3k and the 01 Altezza is still fetching good money.

What engine! The 2.0 4cyl BEAMS 6spd manual would be the most expensive to find, while the 2.0 6cyl the cheapest.

Cheapest 4 cyl manual on TM is $8k. You aren't going to get $4500 for the shell and stuffed motor. So it is worth it to replace the motor, there is a replacement motor on here for $1150.

Make sure you find an engine from another 6 speed manual car as the manuals have dual VVTi with different profile camshafts over the automatics single VVTi - there is about a 10-20hp difference between the two. The cylinder heads are different enough that you can't just swap the manual bits onto the auto engine.
