Lets just compare strength. Juliette generated enouigh force to throw a hundred some pound women straight up have her hit the ceiling with enough force to break the molding. Even as zombie he could not generate that  much force.

Or the fact she could just take Nicks gun out of his holster and shot him from across the room.

The only way Juliette would not win is she can't  find it in her self to hurt Nick.

Take the dream when Nick was suppose to swing the ax to cut her head off. She could have raised her hand and stopped the swing. Like she did with the manticore. It would not actually be that hard to blow up a car engine. All juliette would have had to do was ignite the fuel in a place where it was not supposed to ignite (like the bit that connects the the fuel tank to the actual engine). most of the damage would have been caused by the detonation rather than juliettes own powers (it is not as if she ripped the car apart with her mind). also it is worth noting that the engine did not "explode" so much as experiance a flame out that damaged the engine and blew off the hood.

the bit about breaking moulding with adalind is invalid. Do you know how easy it is to break moulding? I have broken it accidently; it catches on a piece of my clothing and as I walk away it snaps and detaches from the wall. There is even a scene in the Grimm season 3 gag reel where one of the actors knocks some of the moulding of of a door frame. that it broke when adalind hit it is not significant; it probably would have been harder to hit it and NOT break it.

And Nick in zombie mode is powerful. He was able to dent a solid metal coffin from the inside. There is no armroom in a coffin, so it is not like he could get a good windup beforehand. that means, with just a few inches of swinging space (factoring in the length of Nicks fist and forearm), he was able to bust his way out. also do not for get that he was completly unhurt by a plane crash that no one else walked away from (He was in the cockpit when this happened, the most dangerous part of the plane to be in during a crash). this Proves his physical power exceeds anything Juliette has demonstrated so far.

as for her telekinisis, it has two limitations that are relevent here; it requires intence concentration (so she will not be ducking and weaving. remember that she was completly still when adalind hit the roof and came down when juliette rolled away.) and it can be countered with physical force (the verrat that adalind killed with his own gun was able to slow the gun down, so it stands to reason that a sufficently strong person could prevent their weapon being turned against them). Nick is also extremely quick, able to catch thrown objects without looking at them. with that kind of reflex, he could easily catch his gun and keep it pointed at her long enough to take the shot.

As for her blowing up his head, that takes time and concentration. even if it did effect him (and their is reason to believe that it might not, given that no Hexenbiest has sucessfully used magic against a grimm in combat [zaubertranks don't count]) I could still see him fighting through the pain and snapping her neck before he went pop. Remember, she only got away with it with jonah because he did not take the opportunity to rip her throat out when he could, and let the pain distract him. If he had fought through it and killed her before she could finish, he would have lived and she wouldn't have.

long story short, do not be so dismissive. there is much you fail to consider.
