"Exist any iron meteorite without nickel?"   none --(so far!)--- and very
unlikely.  The two elements are so similar; atomic weight, metallic bond, and by
physical size of their atoms that there is little way to physically separate
them  without a heavy planet's gravitational centrifuge.  Chemically, here on
Earth with free oxygen, iron reacts much more readily than nickel and can
precipitated by that means.
