Unfortunately that won't work. The original date of issue is carried over to any subsequent date change.
Unless the OP were to completely redeposit the miles and rebook, then it would be treated as a new ticket and have a new 1-year validity. However, redeposit fee will likely be due, and whatever HNL-NYC seats that was held will have to be given up.
