Cointegration, unit root, stationarity, reliable data?

hi, can someone tell me if the results of my equations are valid considering the nonstationary variables, and ADF test for residuals, which says that residuals are stationary.

My variables are:
log_audnzd
log_tot_ratio
log_invest_ratio
bond
log_cpi_ratio

log_audnzd is my dependent variable, all others are explanatory.
When I test for stationarity each variable, they are all non-stationary.

I run the estimation with equation: log_audnzd c log_tot_ratio log_invest_ratio bond log_cpi_ratio
I get this results:

When I want to check the stationarity of the obtained residuals, I generate new variable "REZIDUALI" (GENR, REZIDUALI=resid). I open REZIDUALI file, VIEW, unit root test, level, intercept, SIC, and I get this:

apsolute tau statistics (-3,421228) value is greater than 2,886509, i.e. my residuals are stationary on a 5% siginifacance level, .i.e. the non-stationary explanatory variable I've used are cointegrated? is it a problem if I have in this case 4 EV? is my method right for calculating the model? I will fine-tune (perhaps add more EV later on in order to increase my R/(R2)

Or since I have more than two variables, do I have to perform Johansen methodology for cointegration check? Thank you.
