Graeme, live in the US or not?
the 1G-GE was only available in Japan, NZ and Aus I believe only had the 5M-E (sohc), and in the United States, the 1984 Supra had the 2.8liter 5MGE that made 160hp and 163ft/lbs (if it was 5 speed, if automatic the 84 had the 150hp 83 engine)
The compression in the 84 manual = 9.2:1 (180psi) 84 auto 8.8:1 (164psi)
LOOK FOR RUST in the places were it will not be easy to repair, i.e. under the windshield trim, under the rear quarters, inside the hatch, whee wells, etc. make sure it steers good and tight
Parts are getting rare all over the planet, make sure you're not buying a junker. If something feels "bad" of "off", trust your instinct
