You can also use the NEWEST version of the Free Adobe DNG converter program to convert the NEF files from the Z6 into DNG files, nothing is lost, and then import the DNGs into LR 8.0.

It is my opinion that Adobe dropped the ball with the release of LR 8 ACR 11 as it does support the Z7 and not the Z6. So they created a newer version of the DNG converter just for this reason.

Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 11.1 (Beta)

Mac

Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 11.1 (Beta)

Download the most current version of the DNG converter from here.

Adobe Digital Negative Converter

That hs either the Windows or Mac version.

Also you run the converter on the FOLDER, IE you SELECT the folder the NEF files are in NOT the actual files. The converter works on the FOLDER LEVEL.

It is best to Copy the files from the camera memory card to a FOLDER on your hard drive and then run the converter on that folder on your hard drive.

Maybe you know why MacBook Pro doesn't see my Z6 as a storage? PC does. I just can't transfer any files from xqd in Z6 to ssd in MBP.

As @DdeGannes points out, updated device drivers may help.

However, in the long run, you will be happier using a card reader instead of directly connecting the camera. The card readers are faster, less error prone, and don't need special drivers.
