so its not cranking over either?

check for power at the large starter terminal.  There should be power there all the time, even with the key out.

then check for power at the small terminal.  It will either be another ring terminal with a smaller nut or a spade connector of some sort.  This will have no power with the key off, but in the crank position(trying to start the car, not just run) there should be power there.

If you run power from the battery directly to the starter, can you get the solenoid to spin?
If so - it give you a clear route to the issue.

Supra's can be nasty for wiring.

Check those fuses.
