Have you replaced YOUR CLUTCH???
ive seen a girl go through her clutch in 3000 miles i just did a performance clutch at 10000 miles only cause they had to repolace the trensmission so i figured do it now whilke it was out it all depends how hard u r on it i would think if the clutch hasnt been replaced in it yet youll l prob end up eating it these clutch are know not to last long
I think you should see 60k no prob. That is if you know how to drive a stick and don't drag every weekend. I have 20,xxx miles on mine with no problem.
I don't consider my driving style hard or anything but I def don't just putt around town or anything.
I think if you will launch your car occasionaly it seems to smooth out the clutch action in these cars. If mine seems to be a little notchy going into second somtimes I will launch her and it seems to smooth out this transmisions feel. My car is an '05 btw.

Nearly at 66K miles on stock oem clutch. Daily driven with less frequent drag strip runs. 2004 coupe.
I have the RPS clutch and flywheel waiting in the wings. Until then i plan to ride this clutch out till its dead.

The R32 is a sweet ride, did you have any issues with the syncros?
70K and clutch grabs as hard as it ever did... It's all about not slipping it, just let the ***** flipper out and don't ride it, if you don't rev high, you will get smooth take off without jerking (many people ride the clutch cause' it's a less jerky ride, but you can do it without slipping that clutch). Basically the clutch will last a very long time if your skills are good... My C5 Vette had 110K when I changed the clutch... I had a 90 Supra with over 100K before I changed that clutch.
Also, I have launched my car many many times real hard so don't be fooled into thinking you have to baby a manual to make the clutch last. Drivers that don't get at least 50K out of a clutch are not driving properly... yes, I said it; unless your tracking the car, if you kill your clutch soon, it's your fault.
NOTE: There are rare exceptions where there are defective parts and the clutch fails prematurely; however, like I said, these times are rare.
JMHO
