Today the car seems to be totally dead. The car just wont start, the starter does not even try to go around a little bit. Not even when we tried to jump start the car with cabels to another car.
I have checked the relays and fuses but none of them seems to be blown, at least not what i could see. The starter relay is clicking when i turn the key.
The car is a JDM and i do not have the hand book, so i dont know where the fuses in the car is located, only those in the engine bay.
Wha could it be? is the starter or somehing else that could have gone bad?

From your description, I agree the most likely problem is the starter itself.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
