decipher vin from 93 max

how can i decipher the specifics of my vin number, i know that the first letter =country of origin bla bla, but what are the nissan codes with in it, like i think the 5th letter is trim level, but what does "j" mean there, etc, the fourth gen faqs has a break down but i cant find the 3rd gens.
if anyone is bored, what can you tell me about my car

well i think the F means engine model. the 8th digit of all Vins are engine type. 10th digit is model year going by letters
