$^{57}$Fe and $^1$H relaxation measurements have been performed in single crystal and oriented powder of enriched $^{57}$Fe8 molecular cluster in the temperature range 0.05--1.7 K in zero external field and with small perturbing longitudinal field ($< 1$ T). On the basis of the experimental results it is argued that in zero external field the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation ($1/T_1$) mechanism is driven by a strong collision mechanism whereby $1/T_1$ is a direct measure of the incoherent tunneling probability in the low lying magnetic energy states of the molecular nanomagnet. The approximate value of the effective tunneling rate vs $T$ and $H$ derived directly from $1/T_1$ is shown to be consistent with theoretical estimates based on known parameters of the Hamiltonian.
