AFAIK the system is based on the number of years the emperor has been on the thrown. The current emperor's reign is called Hesei (or something like that!) and so you see years written as H7 or H11. This year (2004) is H16 i.e 16 years since he became the emperor. The previous emperors reign was called "Showa" so you get S46 etc.

Hope it helps!

so

2004 = H16

2003 = H15

2002 = H14

2001 = H13

2000 = H12

1999 = H11

1998 = H10

1997 = H9

1996 = H8

1995 = H6

1994 = H5

1993 = H4

1992 = H3

1991 = H2

1990 = H1

1989 = S?? !!

I think Showa went to 52 or something like that, maybe Rezz or Dai Oni know more!

You forgot H7

Interesting fact about this:

THE EMPEROR TODAY: The reigning Emperor, Akihito is number 125. The first was, Jimmu (660-585 B.C.).  

Akihito's reign is called Heisei, meaning ("the achievement of complete peace on earth and in the heavens"). Because of the pervasive influence of the Emperor on Japanese life, the adoption of this name for Akihito's reign can be expected to influence Japan's policy. Students of Christian end-times prophecy might also take note, given Japan's use of the United Nations to achieve policy aims. Akihito's slogan could be interpreted as referring to the long period of peace and prosperity predicted in Christian theology, a period that must precede great changes prior to the return of Jesus Christ.

So the H is taken from what they call this emporers reign and not his name :D

I have seen dates written as such:

1 / 10 / H3

1st October 1991 etc.

I wouldn't be suprised if that was January 10th 1991...

The Japs copy the Yanks sometimes with the month/day/year bizzo.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
