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.

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.
