This just started maybe a week ago, if the car sits for more then a
few hours (like overnight, or all day at work) when i try to start it
I have to crank it and crank it for a few minutes, then it starts and
runs prefect. It's a 92 Hyundai fuel injected of course. if i run it
for a while, hsut it off then start it again a little while later it
starts fine (like if i run to the store quick)

Also, i've been getting this vibration from (I think) the rear
passenger side tire, I thought it might be a bad bearing or something,
so I jacked it up and shook the wheel and it felt solid as a rock, i
took the wheel off and looked around and everything looked and felt
ok. it's a steady vibration when going straight, that gets much worse
on hard right turns.

Okay, without actually starting the car, but turning the keys to the ON
or RUN position (whatever you want to call it, just not START, so don't
crank the engine), can you hear the fuel pump priming? It sounds like a
whirring sound. If you cannot hear that, there may be a problem with
your fuel sending unit.

As for the vibrating sound, it is most likely a wheel bearing (I know
you said you checked it, but it might feel solid to you, but get it
going at speed, and you'll notice it). Does it happen from a stop, or
does the sound come at a certain speed and get worse the faster you go?

Starting issue sounds like fuel pressure bleed-down. Put a fuel
pressure gauge on it and check that first.

Like the other person said, try just turning the ignition key to the run
position for a couple minutes before starting the car .. I'm betting it
starts right up. That would indicate that your fuel pump is not
pressurizing the fuel rail quickly, or that your fuel rail has lost
pressure. Maybe your injector(s) aren't opening, but I doubt it.

Second sounds like a wheel bearing ... but also could be a CV joint at that
wheel.

Actually, it could be the bearing in the left rear tire, as it gets loaded
in a right hand turn.
