I had a similar issue with my G37 after working on interior mods...seems I was pressing on the brake pedal with the engine off. When I tried to start it, it would not turn over. I got worried and must have depressed the brake harder and it started. Most likely what happened was when I hit the brake with the engine off, the pedal becomes stiff and will not move as easily. The hard pedal translated to the brake switch not registering and therefore not allowing the engine to start.
Now that's a bit different than what you wrote, because my starter did not turn over...but it's worth a try to just press the brake pedal hard while you try to start the car.
