h# is a reference to the japanese dating system. H = heisei (name of current emperor's reign), 1 = 1989, 2 = 1990, etc.

Nothing to do with the vin though. The first number of the vin = production run

1 = 91-93
2 = 93-95
3 = 95-96
4 = 96-98
5 = 98-00
6 = 98-02

as hinted above, there seem to be a few, very very rare, exceptions to that rule

if you want to double check that for peace of mind...



the chunky top one is a 16bit connection, the bottom is 8bit - very easy to differentiate
