If the ampmeter is not working in your 240K neither will the engine. They dont have a charge light just the gauge..,,I dont even think it has a oil light just a gauge,Remember the 240KGT has the GTR dash and only needs to go or stop.
If everything looks good and it still not a runner have a look at the wires on the rear of the amp gauge as they heat up and fry out.
