If you're putting enough stress on that cable to partially break it, you'll be breaking the throttle body itself soon. Go to the junkyard and get an 89-94 Maxima pulley. It's a direct replacement for the SR pulley and it puts the guided part at the right angle so it's never unsupported. On your setup, you're not pulling around the circumference of the pulley, you're pulling through the middle of it until you get to about half throttle.
