So I’m replacing my clutch line and I stripped a bolt so I then use pliers and the whole thing ripped off what’s the part I’d need to buy picture above or below and also can I use gorilla tape for a temporary fix

Reason: Forgot to put something
Was it the clutch hard line that goes up behind the wheel well? Not exactly sure because normally the clutch flexible line has a banjo bolt at the other end but yours looks to have a worm drive clamp??

Take a picture of the car where the line was.
Yeah it’s the line that’s in the driver side wheel well currently can’t take a pic I’m at work
You need to replace the line, it attaches to the clutch slave cylinder.
There is no possible way you can fix that with superglue or duct tape.
Normally you use a FLARE WRENCH to turn the part that has the metal tube sticking out of it, and support the other end with a large wrench or channel locks to keep it from turning and damaging the hard line.
If you don't have flare wrenches you can cheat and just use a tiny pair of channel locks for that end, it's not torqued down very hard.
You're not going to find a new hard line, it's a long discontinued item and I don't think anyone makes an aftermarket replacement, you can salvage one off another donor car but I suggest just replacing the entire line with a 1 piece which will also eliminate the restrictor valve in the 2 piece setup.
EDIT: Actually Z1 does not sell a 1 piece for the G35/350Z
