Absolute dielectronic recombination (DR) rates for lithium-like Ni$^{25+}$($1s^2 2s$) ions were measured at high-energy resolution at the Heidelberg heavy-ion storage ring TSR. We studied the center-of-mass energy range 0--130 eV which covers all $\Delta n$=0 core excitations. The influence of external crossed electric (0--300 V/cm) and magnetic (41.8--80.1 mT) fields was investigated. For the measurement at near-zero electric field resonance energies and strengths are given for Rydberg levels up to n$=$32; also Maxwellian plasma rate coefficients for the $\Delta n$=0 DR at electron temperatures between 0.5 and 200 eV are provided. For increasing electric field strength we find that for both the $2p_{1/2}$ and the $2p_{3/2}$ series of Ni$^{24+}$($1s^2 2p_j n\ell$) Rydberg resonances with n>30 the DR rate coefficient increases approximately linearly by up to a factor of 1.5. The relative increase due to the applied electric field for Ni$^{25+}$ is remarkably lower than that found in previous measurements with lighter isoelectronic Si$^{11+}$, Cl$^{14+}$ and also Ti$^{19+}$ ions, [T. Bartsch et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 79}, 2233 (1997); {\bf 82}, 3779 (1999) and to be published] and in contrast to the results for lighter ions no clear dependence of the electric field enhancement on the magnetic field strength is found. The Maxwellian plasma rate coefficients for $\Delta n$=0 DR of Ni$^{25+}$ are enhanced by at most 11% in the presence of the strongest experimentally applied fields.
