I replaced the fan and fan clutch and everything looks fine but my supra still overheats. I replaced the stat and i took it out but still overheats no coolant leaks.The radiator looks fine. My car never overheats before until the fan clutch had a bad bearing and the blade's fan got broken.

Head Gasket. Of course its your haed gasket, it is and always will be your head gasket. Replace everything exept your head gasket, see if that works, if not, spend 500+ Australian on a metal gasket, 200+ on some ARP Studs, put yourself in hospital using an in-bay lapping tool on your block and it will last till the end of time.
lol, sorry, i had to get that out of my system, im sure i will get hammered for it but it will be worth it.
Seriously, if your not loosing coolant, it could be a lot of things.

The radiator looks fine? What does that mean? It's shiny black? Sorry to seem incredulous but I think it might be time to take the radiator out and have it looked at or at least back flush it. It doesn't matter what the radiator looks like on the outside it's what's going on inside where you can't see that counts. It could be completely clogged up inside and you'd never know it till you get it serviced. It would be a shame to replace the head gasket only to find out all you needed was a radiator.
Flush the coolent system with a chemical flush from the local auto parts store. Follow the directions, and flush it until the radiator drains clean, and unrestricted. I disconnected the rear heater hose and blew through the block to ensure that there was no major restrictions in the system.
Just remember to BURP the system as soon as your done.That will eliminate the "gurgling" sound you might hear from the heater if you don't.And don't run the dam thing without a stat!!!! wassamattawidyou? Make surer that the weep hole on the water pump isn't dripping.
