Im looking at making a motorized friction drive recumbent bmx and just want to ask a question about threads on items.

Say if i had a M6 thread bolt and and M8 thread nut of the same pitch, is there something that would allow me (like something you'd get in a thread repair kit) to put them together?

I'm not fully understanding your question but if you want to know if you could mate the two sizes, it could be done but would require maybe some welding and machine work. There must be some particular reason you'd need to do this so I won't bother suggesting to just get a smaller, 6mm nut or an 8mm bolt. Maybe a picture of what you're trying to do would help us to make a suggestion.
