First when replacing or working on the brake pads/rotors it is imperative to ensure all traces of oil and grease are removed using suitable brake cleaner. Brake fluid will contaminate the friction material on pads and shoes.
I would be double and triple checking the work you have done, I have seen pads put in back to front, flexi hoses twisted so the brakes don’t release therefore generate heat.Are the splash plates bent slightly and rubbing on the rotors?
Lots of possible answers, pics or video will be a great help in solving this.Remove head, check valves and seats best way is to get it pressure tested. Personally I would replace and lap new valves in all cylinders. As for the rings it is a sump off and remove piston and replace rings job. Depends how much time and money you want to spend. If the valve seats look good then you can save on the pressure testing and just replace and lap valves.
I say do all valves as they are not too expensive and you don’t want to be doing the job again on other valves a thousand miles down the road.Remove head, check valves and seats best way is to get it pressure tested.

I would say number 1 cylinder also has a valve/s not seating due to carbon build up or starting to burn.
I have seen a number of nissans which burn valves due to low quality material used in production.As you will see from your results some compression is being lost past the piston rings on cylinders 1,2 and 4.

If the starter is not cranking the engine the fault lies in the starting system.
The p1800 will not cause the symptoms you describe for a non start.If the starter is not cranking the engine the fault lies in the starting system.

It may be worth removing rear drums clean, check and adjust. If you have had the vehicle for 6 years and not replaced the brake fluid I would suggest this is overdue. I would recommend every two to three years for this depending on vehicle service specs.
