Accidentally shifted from 3rd to 2nd

Yep. If you did any damage you would have known. The engine would have made a really expensive noise.

You are fine.
No oil pressure light and no weird noises = you are good to go.
The VQ's are strong engines.

That is why it's worth to have the synchro rev. Does your Z equipped with one?

That's not going to help an over rev situation.

No electronics can save you from a mechanical over-rev.

Rev limiters only work when you are going up. Not coming down.

because the srv will rev the engine very high letting the driver know he's trying to enter the wrong gate.

Truth.

I didn't hear any weird noises or anything like that.

For future reference, what would it mean if the oil pressure light did come on, and I did hear a weird noise?

Light = low (or no) oil pressure. Possibly because the oil pump drive sheared.
Weird noise = bearing(s) gone bad. Possibly due to lack of oil. Could be other things.

You probably blew the welds on the intake. Now me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block and replace the pistons rings you fried.

what does SRM have to do with this? it's still gonna rev match to the RPM when going into 2nd vs 4th. if anything, in this particular situation, it'd be best to have SRM off b/c at least it gives the driver a chance to realize it's in the wrong gear without the computer revving for the driver (this is assuming that the driver knows about the wrong gear and still has the clutch pushed in).

that is why it's worth it to granny shift and not double clutch.
