Slip Light, VDC off light, and Steering wheel not aligned, please help!

I have a 2005 g35 coupe with 110k miles and a brand new engine. As soon as I got the car back from the non infiniti dealership that replaced my engine, I noticed that my steering wheel was tilted about 20 degrees sideways, but the car drives straight that way. If I put the wheel straight then the car goes left. I also have my vdc off and slip lights on. I don't think I need new brakes which is what everyone says. I found this thread that sounds IDENTICAL to my problem, but I'm not sure what I should do. Keep in mind that none of this happened before the engine replacement, what do I do??
the thread says he just got his computer reset but I don't see how that would fix my steering wheel. Should I just get an alignment, then do a standard ecu reset?? I don't know

I got that light yesterday when I disconnected the MAF
I have SES light on too I was trying to fiddle around with different sensors so I pulled off MAF plug
The VDC OFF and SLIP light came on.
so I reckon it's the MAF plug issue or the sensor has died

Well i feel like it has something to do with the steering, which is what that other thread i posted said. I dont think its an issue with the MAF.

It might be worth having a look. Did you read codes ?

I would read the codes first to see. I have had issues with my MAF and the lights would go on. just a thought.
I dont see how the power steering would cause that?

Get an alignment, lights it'll go away and steering wheel will be straight.

The codes are popping up because of the steering wheel not being centered. I've dealt with this a few times. The shop that replaced the engine should fix it since they're the ones that fvcked up. You can fix it yourself if you really want to. There's one bolt on the steering shaft just above the rack & pinion, just loosen and lift up and the rest is self explanatory. It's a PITA to get it to get everything lined up though.

I assume its fixed by now though.
