Ted Longshaw sells the oil for Nuova Faor Torsen diffs assuming it's similar or I think you can use some more easily available oil from places like Halfords but I forget which you should get...

The storm traction lube I have looks like a soft paste full of copper flecks. Have you tried GS? Here in the US they are the Fioroni importer.

you're right guys the Fioroni Storm raction diffs use a coppaslip like paste to lubricate the gears whereas a NuovaFaor Toren used red Torsen oil to lubricate the gears!
the red oil would just run straight out of a Fioroni casing as they're not sealed to keep oil in[:'(]
you just have to lightly coat the gears with this copper paste every couple of runs.
if you can't find the exact stuff you need then anything like coppaslip or a molybdenum based car brake grease would do
