After Water Pump, Slip, VDC Off, Service Engine Soon

Newbe, Watch the video and did the search,,,
New 2005 G35 Coupe AT Owner
Water Pump, Radiator Change, Low temp thermostat while in there with new belts for good measure...
Watched the water pump video everyone recomends... Looked Simple...
All went pretty well but upon restart I get error messages:
Slip
VDC Off
Service Engine Soon
Had similar issue when I had both crank and cam sensors failing (yeah, both, codes displayed and was only expecting one or the other,,, But back to the point...)
Can someone please tell me I didn't screw up the timing of the valves, and there's a simple fix for this??? Please!!!
I did it pretty quickly but keep rewatching after the fact and didn't set the crank at TDC, and thought I was careful to keep a bit of pressure while turning the crank to get slack to remove tensioner and pump...
How bad did I screw up?

Did you find a fix? If you haven't, I would try a good standby: disconnect the battery for a few hours.

Perhaps this is unrelated but when my VDC off light and emergancy brake lite on, when the brake was off turned out to be low brake fluid. I flushed the system and added new fluid. I can't add anything to the above issues but that.

No fix so far. Spoke to an Infinity tech (went to the school) and he said it was common to jump the timing. He has only changed 2 waterpumps in his years working on them...
Asking around and a few places don't want anything to do with fixing that on a 100,000 mile engine.
Sad but I understand that. The tech told me to go to a Nissan dealer and have them just do the timing chain and seals and leak check - nothing else. See if I can just get it reset to the right setting.
Bumming out riding around in my old truck getting cash together to pay for my screw-up...

battery unplugged and a friend is going to try to clear the codes.
While I was leak checking it was running, but when I was quickly moving it to a parking spot, it would not do anything except idle and would not accelerate. Limped it to the spot and hoped I didn't bend anything too. (5AT)
