The electrical resistivity of Ni is derived from time-resolved measurements of current and voltage of exploding Ni-wires, which are part of a fast RCL-discharge circuit. The values of the resistivity at the Curie-point and at the melting point are in good agreement with stationary measurements. Deviations are discussed. Furthermore, the energy dependence of the resistivity of liquid Ni up to the boiling point (at normal conditions) is determined and compared with the temperature dependence assuming a constant specific heat
