Well the gas smell in the oil is normal as far as I know. Mine has always done that .
I am currently running a JDM engine and I have run it for almost 2 years and that is even taking it to the track along with mods.
Not every JDM needs a rebuild as soon as everybody says. If you can get the engine running in that 30 day warranty then you can compression check it and see.

From my experience jdm engines do not last even especially when pushed, mine only lasted 6000 miles with stock boost,, the japs beet on these motors before they trade them in , every 30,000 miles they get new ones. Save those housings, and put some good 2 piece apex seals

lil' tip for finding JDM rotaries
if you can, always get your rotary with an automatic behind it... usually weren't bagged on as hard by our little inscrutable friends back east. lol.
